DHAKA, July 7, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh received US$696 million in workers' remittances during the first six days of July, marking a 62.8 percent increase compared to the US$427 million received during the same period a year earlier.

According to the latest data from the central bank, expatriate Bangladeshis sent US$129 million in remittances on July 6 alone, reflecting the continued strong flow of inward remittances at the beginning of the 2026-27 fiscal year.

The robust remittance growth is expected to strengthen the country's foreign exchange reserves, support macroeconomic stability, and contribute positively to the overall economy.
